Rights group urges fee suspension
The Moroccan League for the Defense of Human Rights has demanded an immediate suspension of the university fee system imposed on graduate students (Master’s and Doctorate), until a national debate is opened that considers constitutional, human rights principles, and Morocco’s international obligations regarding the right to education. It emphasized that the fee for registration, set at 15,000 Moroccan dirhams for a Master’s and 20,000 dirhams for a Doctorate, threatens the principle of equality and equal opportunities. Particularly since this system reflects unwarranted discrimination and leads to the widening of social and economic disparities among students. The league based its stance on constitutional and human rights texts, calling for a review of the system, the implementation of exemptions for groups with limited financial means, and reaffirming that higher education must remain accessible to all without discrimination based on social or financial status. It also warned that continued fee impositions could negatively impact the quality of education and scientific research. Furthermore, it called for transparency in the management of resources, the protection of students’ legal rights, and a revision of registration and re-registration procedures to ensure they respect the principles of equality and human rights.
